When I think of you I see lines and scars upon your face
They echo in my mind and fade away without a trace
Now I lay down in the dark think and wish and wonder why
Your softest memories left me withered quickly slowly came to die
There’s no way back there my love is dead and yours with me
Just like that parched rose that you keep a bloom no more it’s meant to be
My love is a dead thing it’s buried next to yours
One died too soon one died too long
Was oh so right but oh so wrong
But now it’s dead thing
it’s dead
In my dreams at night I see the ghostly image of your face
It smiles at me the way you used to my body wrapped in your embrace
I feel your heartbeat on my chest in my ears the words you say
You never felt such passion burn the night down till the break of day
Bodies joined in carnal heat spirits entwined they rise above
There was a time when wide awake we lived and breathed that kind of love
But now it’s a dead thing in two holes six feet down
No markers there where it belongs
Was oh so right but oh so wrong
Now it’s a dead thing
it’s dead
You can live without a heart walk the earth without a soul
Get it in your head resurrect the dead love that returns is lifeless and cold
Don’t dig up a dead thing when it tugs at your heartstrings
No matter how much the pain stings don’t dig up a dead thing
Don’t dig up a dead thing
Don’t dig up a dead thing
Don’t dig up a dead thing
My love is a dead thing it’s buried next to yours
One died too soon one died too long
Was oh so right but oh so wrong
But now it’s a dead thing
it’s dead
Don’t dig up a dead thing don’t dig up a dead thing
Don’t dig up a dead thing don’t dig up a dead thing
Don’t dig up a dead thing don’t dig up a dead thing
Don’t dig up a dead thing don’t dig up a dead thing
